Natural cure for herpies

Please suggest some home remedy for the discomfort of herpies outbreak
(22 Aug 2007)

One of the most effective treatment for herpes is Olive Leaf extract. This herbal extract can be found in capsule form and has been known to actually cure the herpes virus! To treat the discomfort of a herpes outbreak, here some things you can do:
  1. Eat whole food and avoid sugary foods
  2. Avoid fried or fatty foods.


  3. Take high dosages of Vitamin A made from fish oil. The suggested dosage is 30,000 I.U. per day for one week and then 15,000 I.U. per day.
  4. Apply lemon balm and aloe vera to the affected areas to soothe them.

Other soothing agents are tea tree oil and comfrey. These also speed healing as does avoiding alcohol and chocolate. It is very important when having an outbreak to avoid sharing anything with someone else as herpes is highly contagious. This goes far beyond sexual contact to include towels, lip balms, and tooth brushes. Wash your hands frequently with warm water and antibacterial soap to help avoid spreading the virus.

Nutritionally, you can also increase your consumption of vitamin B12 and vitamin C along with amino acids, and minerals, especially Zinc. The amino acid Lysine is also very important to stop outbreaks of the herpes virus.
